Change Readiness Assessment
How willing and able is your organization to adapt to change?
This module explains how a change readiness assessment helps leaders of change initiatives to understand the capacity to change that exists within individuals and groups. It highlights how organizations' differing capacities to change are dependent on their circumstances, histories, cultures and operational environments. The module emphasizes that organizational change capability is an increasingly important performance metric and strategic objective.
Every Change Activation Toolkit module features
Tools &
This module will activate your organization to:
- help managers to understand that not everyone will be ready to adopt change behaviors at the same time and with the same level of involvement, interest and commitment
- achieve clarity about the nature and purpose of the assessment that is being conducted while performing a change readiness assessment
- understand how crucial it is for change leaders to understand the existing nature of the organization, its culture, prominent leadership styles as well as changes that are already underway
- consider the impact of implementing change actions with little regard to the readiness of the people whom those change actions will affect
- reassure members within organizations responsible for continuous improvement and quality programs that such processes within organizations are taken into account by change initiatives at this stage
- show change teams that they can make adjustments and tweaks to their change management methodology based upon what issues they find at this stage
- encourage change groups to create their own readiness assessment tools that will suit their organization's unique situation
- demonstrate to senior executives that the implementation of a particular change initiative is timely or not or, that it must be prioritized amongst other change initiatives
Learning objectives
This module will empower your teams and individuals to:
- understand the importance of gauging the organization's capacity to change prior to implementing a change initiative
- awareness of the uses of both qualitative and quantitative measures of readiness
- knowledge of how to use a readiness measure to identify potential sources of resistance
This module is ideal for use at this stage of change implementation:

Venezuela's highest court on Wednesday effectively blocked the two-thirds majority that the opposition won in this month's landmark legislative elections by suspending the inauguration of three incoming lawmakers. "With the strength of the Constitution, with the strength of the law and the strength of the people, the 112 MUD lawmakers will be sworn in," the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) coalition declared, in a statement. It was released shortly after the Supreme Court of Justice granted a request from embattled President Nicolas Maduro's party to stop the three incoming National Assembly members from taking office Tuesday, pending a legal challenge against alleged vote irregularities.

Singapore's ability to survive in the future ahead will have to depend on innovations and solutions for a sustainable world. Such concept will not only be for advanced industrialised nations, but will also apply for developing nations as well.
How Imagination and Web 2.0 might change the Sociopolitical landscape of Singapore
We will soon be celebrating the 43rd year of our nation's founding, yet despite the four
decades and three years of independence, we still have no true sense of direction or
identity for the future of our country. In these testing times, we have this sense of crises
that has become more apparent than ever.
Most of us would know the many crises that afflict us as a country. We are now facing the
fact that food and energy may no longer be cheap, and as we see our costs of living going
up, we are all worried about future potential food and energy crises. We worry about our
political leadership, about the brain drain that seems to be getting worse year by year, and
we are worried about the rise of India and China, despite the strategy that the government
has to ʻride on' their economic rise. Many people have probably have this gut feeling that
when the Chinese and Indian economies mature, Singapore might probably be irrelevant,
or even disappearing under rising sea levels due to climate change.
All of these worries are all relevant, some more urgent than others. For now, the more
current problems might be energy and food issues, as they affect the lives of ordinary
people, and especially the middle-class and the less privileged group of people who find it
difficult to keep themselves afloat, who don't see the bright future that the government is
constantly trying to portray. For those more privileged, they are considering back-up plans
by going abroad, to America and Europe, where their talents might be more highly valued
than here. When Singapore becomes an unattractive place to live and work, they simply
pack their bags and leave, confident in the belief that they will become highly sought in
their adopted homelands.
It is difficult not to say something cliched in times such as these, but Singapore is
approaching a crossroad in its route of progress. The decisions that will be made in the
coming years, possibly up to 2012, will become extremely important and pivotal to the
future of our country for the next 5 decades or so. Of course, all these are but
speculations, but given the degree of foresight that our leaders have, it would be quite
certain that they would have given thought to all these already.
Given all these negativities, it might be easy to just say, ʻgive up' and become resigned to
the state of things as they stand. That our government and form of administration might be
out of touch with the needs and aspirations of the common people, while the more
privileged classes might no longer find any point in staying in Singapore. The result will be
a decaying Singapore that will teeter towards social chaos and eventual collapse.
Some people will say that Singapore as a nation-state is simply a construct, and simply
don't feel anything towards a name. Sure, in some future world of peace and freedom,
nation-state might be irrelevant, and all that remains will simply be regional administrations
brought under control by some world government. Until that day comes, nation-states will
still matter in changing and directing the larger picture of human history, and from this, the
hope is that Singapore might somehow contribute to that greater picture of that human
Singapore will be able to avoid negative futures, and become a global city by embracing
and infusing imagination into her people and creating opportunities within to realise their
imagination and fulfilling those opportunities. The only way to do so is to allow every
Singaporean to become active agents in the process of nation-building. By being allowed
access to actively shape the governance and the social environment, they become
stakeholders in the development and future of Singapore, and hence would want to create
a better place for themselves and for future generations. For this to happen, a different
form of governance is required, a form of governance that believes in the inherent
goodness of the people to come up with good ideas, and the willingness to pursue and
develop these ideas. For such a transformation to be realised, it would have to nationwide
project, not just for the privileged few, but across the entire spectrum of Singapore society.
This means that transformation of our education system, the realignment of our economy,
and the adjustment of certain beliefs.
The form of Transformation
Having talked so much about the potential transformation of our nation, the obvious
question is then, ʻHow do we begin?'. This essay/article does not claim to have the
antidote, nor do we authors claim full authority regarding this issue, but having exposed to
the concepts of social and technological innovation, we do believe that there are certain
trends and ideas that can be modified and utilised to transform the culture of innovation
into something more powerful in Singapore, thereby enabling Singapore to maintain the
edge that it has as being the foremost global city in Southeast Asia, if not the whole of
We would like to start off by introducing the concepts of Web 2.0, from which we draw
most of our ideas from. Web 2.0 has many interpretations, but the interpretation that is
most relevant is the fact that Web 2.0 is about the social. By that we mean that Web 2.0 is
about the inherent social relationships that people have, and to translate these
relationships into more tangible form on the Web. This is most profoundly seen in social
networking websites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Friendster. In these websites,
users are translating their real-world relationships into the Web. Through sharing of photos
and messages, people are maintaining their relationships and making new ones, all
through the web. At the same time, communities are being created by people with similar
preferences, and contributing their own content through blogs and podcasts. Moving up
another level, there are projects like Wikipedia, with people coming together to collaborate
on a common project, thereby creating another form of community of sorts. This entire
aggregation of communities and relationships, and the technological standards that are
being created to support these forms of collaboration and communication, is known
collectively as Web 2.0.
The principles of Web 2.0 might be used to create opportunities for Singaporeans to step
forward and give suggestions how the environment in the local neighbourhood might be
improved. Simple voting mechanisms might be in place for citizens to decided between
suggestions, as how stories on news aggregation websites are decided.
Going further, such opportunities might be expanded through citizen journalism, allowing
citizens the freedom to note items and events of interest, and then allowing the community
of users (which would be Singaporean), to decide among the importance and relevance of
the stories.This is about empowering every Singaporean to become stakeholders, knowing
that their stories matter to other Singaporeans.
All of these is ultimately creating the participatory framework to allow Singaporeans to
participate in the process of nation-building, by becoming observers of their own personal
history, and how it might affect or reflect the broader nature of the direction of society. It is
about the transformation that must occur in the way we think about the flow of direction,
away from a centralised, top-down form of information distribution, to a more
decentralised, bottom-up forms of information transmission. Among the assumptions that
are inherent in these bottom-up forms of information flows is that people are able to judge
for themselves what are potentially important and relevant to the rest of the Singapore
community, and that there is a sort of wisdom that arises from this community in its
selection of relevant news and information.
It is hoped that this change in the way that we process news might somehow trigger
changes in the way we deal with our politics and the way society as a whole processes
So far, we have only dealt with the issue of how Singapore might transform its
sociopolitical processes to handle challenges of the future. This is only a part of the issues
that we will be dealing in the future to come.
As mentioned right from the start, there are the ongoing food and energy crisis, simply
because of the scarcity of energy resources, and due to the threat of climate change and
the implications towards food security. The overarching issue of climate change is not
simply an issue of global warming and resulting temperature, rather the real issue is due to
the current rate of unsustainable development, including the profligate use of energy
With respect to this issue, the suggestion is a rethinking of our manufacturing and industry,
using the concept of Cradle to Cradle (c) as well as the adoption of renewable energy
resources and measures for energy conservation. By Cradle to Cradle, we mean the
concept of designing products with environmentally-friendly materials that poses no threat
to both biology and the environment, and making sure that the materials in the product can
be broken down and reused again to make another entirely new product.
As regards to food security, the concept of vertical food farms should be seriously
considered to provide buffer for Singapore's food security in any event of disruptions, be it
through climate change or conflict.
The overall effect of all of these sustainable energy initiatives is not simply about the
adoption of new technologies. Parallel developments should also be made in urban
planning in issues such as mass transit and green transport systems. Urban planners
should not be thinking about ways to reduce road usage by cars - they should be thinking
about how to make cars simply unnecessary in Singapore, or reducing car usage to nearly
non-existent. In such times of crises, incremental paths of thinking simply become
unsuitable to due with systemic issues. What will be required are wholly disruptive forms of
thinking as well.
The aim of all of these environment and sustainable development initiatives is not simply
for the benefit of Singaporeans and residents of Singapore. The aim also includes the
promotion of Singapore as a model for other cities to model themselves after, thereby
lifting the imagery of Singapore as not merely a regional city of stature, but a global city,
not just in terms of the material prosperity that will exist, but in terms of the culture and the
spirit of imagination of her peoples, a hub where global ideas mix and intermingle with one
another, creating global solutions for a sustainable world.
The two main ideas thus presented all focus ultimately on one thing: the power and
capacity of imagination in transforming Singapore. It is this last aspect that the focus of this
article/essay will now turn to, as we begin to explore how imagination will be nurtured and
inculcated in our nation, through education.
First and foremost, education is something that we cannot overemphasize. Education will
be the means through which all of these ideas will be sustained through the population
and through generations, in order for these ideas to last beyond the initial founding years.
We expect that technology will continue its current exponential growth, and these will
definitely yield exciting possibilities for both the transmission and the conception of
Imagination among future students and the future population at large. We believe that
education should continually be enhanced through the incorporation of technology, at the
same time, with the continual improvement in pedagogy to make fullest use of these
technologies. This is not to say that education will become technology-centred, rather,
education will continue to be student-centred, with technology and pedagogy as the
means to do so. This does not mean that teachers are not required either, rather teachers
will become more important as questions of the responsible use of powerful forms of
technology become ever more important.
As technology becomes cheaper and more sophisticated, we expect the trend for greater
information democratisation to continue. Which is to say, that the means for access and
creation of information will become more and more widely available, and the main means
of this trend will continue to come from the ongoing information revolution on the Web.
(Kevin Kelly's presentation on the One Machine - the Web). As nanotechnology and
fabrication becomes mature, commercialised and widely available, we expect that
eventually, more people will be able to obtain the means of industrial production for
themselves. That world will be the world of ʻtechnology for the market of one' (Neil
Gershenfeld's presentation...). The question then becomes, will Singapore be the leader or
follower in these and other potential forms of disruptive technologies? What and how will
we look for potentially disruptive developments, look out, and adapt to them as they come?
To handle this eventuality, we would like to propose the development of Innovation Labs,
where people with ideas will be able to come together to communicate with the foremost
technological companies in the world, where money will be poured in to fund promising
areas of research, to create forms of technology that will change the way people live, work
and play. What Singapore needs to do, nurture and sustain, is a forum or fora, where
people with ideas can be matched to people with the funds and the technology to realise
these dreams. We believe that Singapore's current position in the financial world makes it
an excellent place for these possibilities to begin and even take off.
Once again, we, the authors, do not claim to be the authority in these suggestions to
improve Singapore's future. What we have tried to do here is to present the case that for
Singapore to become prosperous, a transformation from the way society, politics and
education currently function is necessary, and vital for the survival for the future. There are
many other issues that we have not touched on, such as the issue of National Service,
and handling the issue of the aging population, but like we said, we do not claim to solve
every issue that Singapore will face. We hope that our suggestions will stimulate interest in
Singapore's future, and generate other better suggestions, and ultimately, implementations
to resolve threats to Singapore's survival.

I have spent the last 4 days sequestered at my parents' house in Massachusetts due to Hurricane Sandy. We were fortunate enough to emerge unscathed – we even kept our power throughout the storm. Unfortunately, this meant that we were inundated with campaign ads and phone calls.
I'm not used to this. Living in San Francisco, we get a whole lot of proposition ads, but not a lot of candidate ads. Pelosi's got the city locked up; our senators Boxer and Feinstein rarely have serious contenders. But in Massachusetts, there are some important races at stake – Elizabeth Warren is challenging Scott Brown in his reelection bid for senate. New England is small, so we end up also picking up ads for candidates in New Hampshire and Rhode Island. I counted yesterday – 4 campaign ads to 1 non-campaign ad in one primetime commercial break.
It's overwhelming – the amount of information, misinformation and false information that is being force-fed to voters across the country at this pre-election point in time. How do you sift through all the rhetoric, quotes and citations, claims and counterclaims? I find myself feeling so grateful for the critical thinking skills I learned as a kid. I know that when I see a political ad, even if it's for someone with whom I might agree, I need to take the content of that ad with a grain of salt, and see it through the context of the current election. I also know to read the fine print about who is funding an ad; whose super-PAC is supporting whom.
Longitudinal studies have found that students who are engaged in the arts in their youth become adults who are more likely to vote, be civically active, and read the newspaper (Doing Well and Doing Good by Doing Art, James Catterall). In other words, they're more likely to be engaged citizens. I know that my own experience with the arts helped me view messages and media with a critical eye, and understand the importance of context. These skills helped me develop as an actor and performer. They also help me read the fine print in a political ad; to see a politician's robocall in context, not at face value.
Our founding fathers knew the importance of an engaged and educated citizenry in order for democracy to work. At Performing Arts Workshop, we are doing our best to achieve that same goal. We know that the arts are education. More importantly, they provide the kind of critical education that our civil society needs right now in its citizens. When I vote on November 6, I'll be using my critical thinking skills to determine where to place my support. And I'll be thanking my theater teacher, Mrs. Bergeron.

Tonight is the eve of St. Patrick's Day. This is what you will see at the corner of Milton Avenue and Tompkins Street. This is what has happened, on this same evening, for roughly 25 years.
If you go to laugh and sing, and not as a hooligan, they'll be glad to have you.
You know that intersection. It is home to a unique traffic light, the place where the green flashes high above the red. That is a great Irish story in itself. You've probably heard it, and if you haven't, here is some advice:
Go there late tonight, and someone will tell the tale.
Go there at 11:45 p.m., and a solitary early bird or two will be there waiting, standing in the shadows of the Stone Throwers monument. Maybe you'll wonder, for a moment, if the whole story's a myth, if something really happens at midnight beneath the traffic light.
And then you will hear them. You will hear the hollers, cheers and songs as they march on Tompkins Street, three old friends dressed in green, surrounded by their entourage. As their shouts ring through the neighborhood, the whole place empties out.
People come streaming to the traffic light. They stream from the taverns and from the old homes of Tipperary Hill. You'll see white-haired old Gaels pulling lawn chairs to the corner. You'll see parents with young children giving them this mystic treat, this one chance on a school night to stay up far too late, because midnight will bring to them a new St. Patrick's Day.
A circle of hundreds will form beneath the traffic light. In the middle will stand Scott Mulholland, and Jeff "Coz" Costello, and Jerry "Bonez" Roesch, three lifetime Irish buddies, all in their late 30s.
They will raise their arms and lead some cheers and songs for St. Patrick's Day. There'll be no fights, no arguments, because that's not allowed. They will dedicate the moment, as they always do, to some familiar Tipp Hill regular who died in the past year.
They are there to paint a shamrock - the plant with three leaves called a "seamrog" in old Gaelic - in water-based green paint directly underneath the light.
The painting started in the 1970s. It was conceived by Rick O'Meara, who'd grown up with stories of midnight rituals underneath the light. For years, old-timers gathered there at midnight on March 16 for toasts or a song. It was said that Bob Hayes, a basketball coach at St. Patrick's School, once danced a midnight jig beneath the light to celebrate an upset win.
O'Meara made the ritual official. He brought in Mulholland and Costello. Every year, at 7 p.m., Mulholland's mother hands the trio a ceremonial new broom. Then the painters make the rounds of Tipp Hill taverns. At midnight, they converge on the traffic light, where they paint the shamrock in the intersection with water-based green paint.
A few years ago, O'Meara retired. He chose Mulholland to paint the shamrock in his place. Costello pours the paint. Roesch was hand-picked as the new guy, who pops open the can. By the time O'Meara quit, the painting had turned into a true celebration. Even though the painters never sought publicity, even though they turned down offers from many businesses willing to be sponsors, stories of the painting spread by word-of-mouth.
The total cost this year, Mulholland estimates, is $11.50.
If you go, one of the painters will hand you a souvenir card, and you'll have the chance to dip the card in wet green paint. Some revelers even paint green stripes on their faces, although the painters try to discourage that. All it would take is green hand prints to show up on one parked car, and 25 years of good feeling might go down the drain.
You are welcome, but you understand: No hooligans allowed.
Sean Kirst is a columnist for The Post-Standard who invites you to watch some fine work by Sarah "S.J." Velasquez, a former editor at The Post-Standard who was raised in the Irish enclave of South Buffalo. She's fallen in love with Tipperary Hill, which resulted in a project for NewsHouse that included some fine videos and a Google map of Tipperary Hill that's just a lot of fun. Enjoy.

CHICAGO – A woman has been stabbed to death on a Chicago L train in what police say may have been a domestic dispute.
First Deputy Superintendent John Escalante said Thursday that witnesses said they were a couple and there was "some talk about a child." Escalante said witnesses observed the man asking the woman a question. After she said "no," he stabbed her and slit her throat.
The attack was recorded by surveillance cameras.
Escalante said several people called 911. A police officer who was near the station the train was entering went to the platform and arrested the man.
The attack happened on the Chicago Transit Authority's busiest L line, the Red Line. It shut down one station for nearly two hours.

Love this version of the Jungle Book! Well done!
This is a none cartoon version of the Jungle book. I still like the cartoon version better which is more light hearted. I also like the music better in the cartoon version. But it is the same story in a different setting.
Great family movie with stunning visuals and graphics. Disney seems to be continuing the tradition of capturing audiences' interest. It was a thrill to watch from start to end with fantastic CGI. The actor, Neel Sethi, did a good job being Mowgli. The story was enjoyable, just like the original. The movement of those animals was smooth and natural, especially the scene where the big orangutan was chasing Mowgli in the old, scary castle ruins and monkeys were screaming loudly. It was quite a thrilling chase!!! And at the end, the orangutan was the one to lose. Baloo and Bagheera were always with Mowgli and their chemistry was amazing. The voices were also on point, actors like Bill Murray, who played Baloo, matched the character perfectly. The ending of Sher Khan reminded me of another Disney classic, the epic "The Lion King". 4 out of 5.

Wonderful movie for children and adults who love the beauties of nature and animals. Bill Murray's voice was easy to recognize in the bear friend, who has his same attitudes.
This was a good film. Loved the characters as they were looking real!! A good family film to watch!!
Growing up in Orlando created a love/hate Disney relationship for me; TH refused to believe I'd never watch a version of this movie. I'm happy to say I enjoyed it and would watch it again. The voice actors (as the animals) were wonderfully complex and engaging. May be too scary for the youngest of your family, but all in all an enjoyable film.
The film is excellently done, lavish in places. Unfortunately, the dialogue is lackluster. There is nothing that shines or is memorable in anything these characters have to say. Very disappointing that.

I have been holding this recipe in my secret stash for years, knowing I absolutely had to share it eventually, but I don't know- waiting for the perfect time. Or perhaps just knowing it needing to be made a few dozen more times to really know how to explain how great it is. I've made this for so many lunch dates, and dinners and everyone who tries it just begs for the recipe so here it finally is, in it's ever so simple and delicious glory… Ok well after I talk about it a little more. You get me.
I think the key to me loving this soup is that it's just so darn easy. The nice thing about creamy soups is that you cook all the ingredients, pureé them together with a immersion blender (the easiest!,) or a regular blender, and there you have the dreamiest, creamiest, soup of all time.
What makes this recipe so creamy you may ask? Well the ingredient list is super short and simple- butternut squash, onions, chicken stock and….cream cheese. Yup! Not a crazy amount, but enough to make this just a little bit rich and oh so dreamy. Salt and pepper are added of course, and a bit of spice from some cayenne pepper is what really puts it over the top. It's not too hot, but has just a teeny kick which we all adored, (even Hugo!)
So add this to your fall meal lineup, you will be glad you did I promise!
- 1 medium sized onion, chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1 medium sized butternut squash (about 2 lb.)
- 3 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 8 oz pacakge of cream cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
- cayenne pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400F. Slice the squash in half vertically. Drizzle the open sides with olive oil and place face down on a cookie sheet. Roast for 40 minutes or until tender. When cooked and cool, scoop out the inside of the squash, or cut into cubes, whichever is easier and set aside.
- When the squash is cooked and cooled, sauté the onions in the butter or oil until soft and golden. Add the broth and squash and bring the broth to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes*.
- Add salt & pepper and a dash of cayenne (you can add more later.) Use your immersion blender if you have one to pureé the soup until smooth. (Or process in batches in a normal blender.)
- Add the cream cheese, a chunk or two at a time, and continue to pureé until smooth as silk. Return all the soup to the pot if you used a regular blender and cook over low heat for a couple minutes as you stir to marry all the flavors.
- Add more salt & pepper as needed, and gradually add more cayenne until it's as spicy as you like.

Pet Owner in Kingsport
I am looking for someone to help with part time care for my two adorable dogs. It would likely be one weekend per month and I would need this person to let my dogs out to go to the bathroom, take them on the occasional walk, and feed them before I get home from work in the evening. I would love to hear about your pet care experience and let you meet my sweet dogs. Thank you, Meredith

Process faxes in queue as they enter the queue
Process all faxes in the queue as they enter the queue instead of waiting for them to be transmitted before starting conversion. We have a ton of idle time on our fax lines while the fax board waits for the software to convert the next job in the queue. Very inefficient and with four lines and an average time of 15 seconds to convert the job I have one minute of idle time for every four faxes processed. Why not start the conversion process as soon as the fax hits the queue?

You can add a domain to vSphere Authentication from the vSphere Web Client or by using the camconfig command.
You can add a domain to vSphere Authentication Proxy only after you enable the proxy. After you add the domain, vSphere Authentication Proxy adds all hosts that you provision with Auto Deploy to that domain. For other hosts, you can also use vSphere Authentication Proxy if you do not want to give those hosts domain privileges.
- Log in to the vCenter Server appliance or the vCenter Server Windows machine as a user with administrator privileges.
- Run the command to enable access to the Bash shell.
- Go to the directory where the camconfig script is located.
vCenter Server Appliance
vCenter Server Windows
C:\Program Files\VMware\CIS\vmcamd\
- Run the following command to add the domain and user Active Directory credentials to the Authentication Proxy configuration.
camconfig add-domain -d domain -u user
You are prompted for a password.
vSphere Authentication Proxy caches that username and password. You can remove and recreate the user as needed. The domain must be reachable via DNS, but does not have to be a vCenter Single Sign-On identity source.
vSphere Authentication Proxy will use the username specified by user to create the accounts for ESXi hosts in Active Directory, so the user must have privileges to create accounts in the Active Directory domain to which you are adding the hosts. At the time of writing of this information, Microsoft Knowledge Base article 932455 had background information for account creation privileges.
- If you later want to remove the domain and user information from vSphere Authentication Proxy, run the following command.
camconfig remove-domain -d domain

Palestinian News Item
PA TV reporter calls Israel "the alleged state"
Official PA TV Live - Apr. 1, 2017
Official PA TV News, on Land Day in Qalqilya
Official PA TV reporter: "Each year Land Day reveals our people's hold on their lands that have been occupied by Israel since the establishment of the alleged state (i.e., Israel). The lands of the city of Qalqilya have been expropriated time after time, and also 30,000 dunams (i.e., approximately 7,400 acres) of its most fertile lands are isolated behind the annexation and expansion wall."
Land Day – an annual commemoration of the general strike and demonstrations organized by Israeli Arab residents of the Galilee on March 30, 1976 to protest the Israeli government's decision to expropriate land in the Galilee for security and settlement purposes, which it later implemented. During the protests, demonstrators burnt tires, blocked roads, and threw rocks and firebombs. Six demonstrators were shot and killed by the Israeli army and police. Israeli Arabs and Palestinians consider Land Day a national day.

Happy Friday!!! I can't believe I've missed two Friday Favorites in a row–I'm so sorry! I nearly missed today's, but I managed to carve out a little time for some links. This is what we're in the middle of right now:
After 10 LONG months, we have finally been reunited with our stuff from Charlottesville. Now our only question is what to do with it all?
Since I've pretty much been living out of a few suitcases since July, I've learned that it is possible to live on SO much less, which is why I LOVED Shauna Niequist's latest post, LESS. I'm hoping as I unpack our ridiculous amount of boxes to slowly purge the things we just don't need or use.
And since I have moving on the brain, I so appreciated Nina's words of wisdom, "Make friends who like to move."
I also have painting on the brain and am so terrified of picking out the wrong paint color. I loved Nester's advice on "The Only Secret Formula For Picking the Perfect Paint Color."
Downton Abbey fans, I've discovered a new show for you: Mr. Selfridge. It's another gem from Masterpiece Theater starring Jeremy Piven who portrays Harry Gordon Selfridge, an American entrepreneur who journeys to London in the early 1900s to open "Selfridges," a state-of-the-art, high-end department store. His motto? The more extravagant, the better, which is probably why I love it. Amazon Prime members can watch it for free on demand.
Virginia Beach and Norfolk friends, last night was the launch of Volume 2 of The Scout Guide. It's AMAZING! Keep your eyes peeled for a copy at your favorite local spot and be sure to grab your copy ASAP! For a little preview, check out The Scout Guide's blog here.
If you want to see something cute and ridiculous, watch this video of this precious little girl dancing–she's got moves!!

The second article of the series covered infrastructure stuffs, basic network security such as building a reliable perimeter that minimizes threats to your SharePoint farm. It also provided you fundamental steps in Windows Server hardening that can eliminate potential vulnerabilities.
- Intranet Collaboration Security in SharePoint – Part 1
- Intranet Collaboration Security in SharePoint – Part 2
- Intranet Collaboration Security in SharePoint – Part 3 (you are here)
In this article, I consider looking at SQL Server that contains SharePoint databases, especially content database that may store your shared sensitive documents, list information or so on.
I'm not going to go through deeply in securing SQL Server using T-SQL script or so on because I'm not really someone who wears DBA hat. Moreover, Microsoft strongly suggests not too much to touch to SharePoint databases. In this article, what I would like to cover:
- SQL Server security
- User authentication
- Encrypting data with TDE (Transparent Data Encryption)
SQL Server security
The first lesson to learn is to select the right account for running SQL Server. I've seen lots of people that don't have plan for service account. They often use domain administrator to run all of services in SQL Server. This way could lead to many problems, especially when someone had such a highest-privileges account in your domain controller. When you install SQL Server, it asks you the account to run SQL Service. You can change it later in SQL Server Configuration Manager. If you are using Windows Server 2008 R2, you shouldn't miss the new feature called managed service account. This new feature allows you to manage automatic password when it needs to be changed. Let's say you have the password policy that forces all passwords of the accounts in your Active Directory to be changed pursuant to the corporate policy. When the password of the SQL Service account is expired then you have to change it manually then restart SQL Service unless it is stopped. Using managed service account; the password of the SQL service account is automatically changed by Active Directory by definable schedule without stopping the service.
Another type of account you may need to consider using is virtual account that is also a new feature introduced the first time in Windows Server 2008 R2. This type simplifies service administration, especially no password management is required.
For more about managed service account and virtual account, read here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd548356(v=ws.10).aspx
During communication, SQL Server talks with SharePoint by sending request and query with network packets. Such packet can be sniffed using a common tool Wireshark. In this case, you may need to secure the session between SQL Server and SharePoint. Fortunately, SQL Server allows you to use encrypt the communication using SSL. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager, under SQL Server Network Configuration, open the property windows of Protocols for MSSQLSERVER and set the value of Force Encryption to Yes. In the Certificate tab, import your certificate from whether self-signed certificate, internal certificate authority or a trusted provider such as VeriSign, Thawte…
By default, SQL Server uses 1433 port to communicate. If you aren't using a 3rd firewall hardware, you can use the built-in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security in order to allow this port to be able to work over the network.
In terms of authentication, there are two basic authentication mechanism you can use for SQL Server: NTLM and Kerberos. Each of the two has pros and cons. Kerberos is more secure than NTLM. Kerberos protocols ensure mutual authentication that could prevents man-in-the-middle attack. Moreover, using Kerberos helps reduce load on domain controller. It, however, requires you to configure SPN before using it. Your choice is dependent on your security requirement.
User authentication
When it comes to user authentication in SQL Server, you have not only built-in Windows authentication supported by Active Directory but also authentication inside SQL Server. There are lots of discussions and references on differences between Windows authentication and SQL authentication. One of the trusted resources can be founded here. Microsoft strongly recommends using Windows authentication to maximize use of powerful features in Active Directory. This way helps centralize account administration as well.
Every time you want to assign permission to an account to a SharePoint database (for example assigning dbcreator and securityadmin before SharePoint installation), you must create login first. The login can be a user in Active Directory or a custom user in SQL Server authentication. If you are to create a new account named "sa", make sure you are done some penetration tests unless this account could be compromised to attacker by brute-force attack. I've seen many administrators who use "sa" as a high-privilege account in SQL Server. Don't use "sa" is a recommended best practice to secure your SQL Server. After creating a login, you may need to configure server role for your login, make sure you have clearly understanding of every server-level role and database-level role in SQL Server.
SharePoint content database encryption
Microsoft introduced Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) at the first time in the edition of SQL Server 2008. According to Microsoft, TDE performs real-time I/O encryption and decryption of the data and log files.
In SharePoint environment, only content database can be encrypted by TDE. Although TDE affects the performance of content database, it's still a recommendation to secure your SharePoint content. I remember Michael Noel – an internationally recognized SharePoint infrastructure guru talked about TDE for SharePoint dozen of times through many international conferences. You can refer to his presentation here and his recording of the topic published in MSDN Channel 9.
This article is a very good start of configuring TDE to encrypt SharePoint content database: http://blogs.technet.com/b/rycampbe/archive/2013/10/14/securing-sharepoint-harden-sql-server-in-sharepoint-environments.aspx
This article gives you basic principle of SQL Server security. As a SharePoint administrator, you need to incorporate with the DBA in your company in order to make a security plan for SharePoint databases.

Vanquish Fat Removal is a non-surgical liposuction alternative to remove stubborn fat.
Quick facts: Vanquish Fat Removal
Also known as: Non surgical liposuction, coolsculpting alternative
Treatment for: abdomen, tummy, flanks
Body contouring in Perth has got even easier. Dermedica is proud to bring you Vanquish, a non-invasive tehcnology that uses focused-field radio frequency to selecitvely target and disrupt fat cells (Ref 1). It has one of the largest spot size to target the abdomen from flank to flank for reduction in the waistline.
(Ref 1-Human Adipocyte Apoptosis Immediately Following High Frequency Focused Field Radiofrequency:Case Study-D.McDaniel MD and P. Lozanova MD: Journal of Drugs In Dermatology; June 2015, vol 14, issue 16)
Why is Vanquish a good non surgical liposuction option for you?
Wondering how Vanquish ME selectively targets fat?
What is Vanquish Fat Removal?
Body contouring in Perth has got even easier. Dermedica is proud to bring you Vanquish, a non-invasive tehcnology that uses focused-field radio frequency to reduce fat without ever touching your body.
The radio frequency waves target the fat cells and heat them up enough to cause cell death without damaging the skin or muscle.
How does Vanquish work?
Vanquish provides ground breaking technology to non invasively achieve fat reduction. It uses selective RF energy field. The selective RF™ targets the desired tissue layer. The energy delivery is focused in adipose tissue due to tissue selectivity. In terms of safety, the field does not adversely affect skin or muscle. This is a proven and patented technology that has a high safety profile and efficacy.
Krueger N, Sadick NS, New generation radiofrequency technology. Cutis 2013; 92(1):39-46
Who is a good candidate for Vanquish?
Vanquish is for patients who have specific areas of unwanted fat. It is not for people who are significantly overweight but for those looking to shed a few kilos and sculpt specific areas of their body.
When you book an assessment with Dr Joanna Teh, she will discuss with you whether Vanquish is correct treatment option for you.
How many Vanquish treatments are required to see result?
The number treatment required depends on the size of the unwanted body fat. Most people require a minimum of 4 treatments.
What are the side effects of Vanquish fat reduction treatment?
The treatment is non invasive. The Vanquish panel lies just above the skin without touching it. The focused heat targets the fat cells causing a mild to moderate heating sensation like sitting in front of a heat lamp. Immediately after the treatment there will be some redness or warmth which disapear in a few hours. Other rare side effects are temporary bumps under the skin which usually disappear within a few weeks. Occasionally there may be mild blister. In general, the Vanquish treatment is very well tolerated by most clients.
As with all medical procedures, there are potential risks and side effects. It is important to have a thorough discussion with an experienced cosmetic doctor to assess your risks.
Fajkosova K, Machovcova A, et al: Selective radiofrequency as a non invasive approach for contactless body contouring and circumferential reduction: Drugs in Dermatology J 2014; 13(3), 292-296
Is there any downtime with Vanquish fat redcution treatment?
You can return back to work, social life, regular activities right after the Vanquish treatment. This one of the reason why people consider Vanquish as an option to reshape their body over liposuction.
When will I notice results after Vanquish fat reduction treatment? How long do they last?
Result is not immediate. Clinical studies have shown reduction in subcutaneous fat within a few months.
Results and duration of effects will vary between individuals. A consultation with an experienced doctor is important to discuss about your suitability, expectation and result.

All About Getting An Internet Directory And Portal
By Bill Dean
When you start a business on the Internet you need to look after a few different things at once and one of them is getting the word out on the services that you have to sell. That means that you'll need to have some kind of Internet advertising and a lot of businesses that have been successful swear by an Internet directory and portal.
One of the most common types is the business directory. In many ways this has taken the place of the old Yellow Pages in that it's the best way of getting the word out on the goods and services that you've got.
There are several things that you'll need to look for to make sure that you're getting the right kind of business directory and these features include:
* A number of different categories. Although your Internet business will likely only appear in one of the categories that the business directory has to offer, it's good when the site you are considering has several different options so that you can see how many people have actually signed on and are using a particular service.
* A number of different options. Search engine optimization is very important in the world of Internet advertising and that's why you need to be sure that the business directory that you're looking at has this option available to you and your business.
One of the other options that will come in handy if you can find it is keyword analysis. Along with link building, keyword analysis is a fundamental cornerstone of the Internet advertising matrix.
Of course when you're looking for the best Internet directory portal to use you can rely on word-of-mouth to help you find the one that best suit your needs. Asking friends and relatives who they use is a useful tool and you can even look on the Internet for any reviews of the sites that you are considering.
The bottom line is a website that just sits on the Internet won't get you the kind of exposure you need. Just having a website designed and built is not enough to ensure your success on the Internet and that's why you need to be sure to get some manner of Internet advertising working for you.
That's where an Internet directory and portal comes in handy.
Bill Dean knows about using an Internet Directory and Portal. He's been working with the business directory for years now.

The Artillery Reserve of the Army of the Potomac

The Union Army of the Potomac's artillery reserve used massed cannons to provide concentrated and sustained firepower. More »
The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought in and around the town of Fredericksburg, Virginia, from December 11-15, 1862, during the Civil War. The battle was marked by the futile advances of troops from the Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by General Ambrose Burnside, against Confederate positions at Marye's Heights on December 13. The Confederate troops of the Army of Northern Virginia, under General Robert E. Lee, were supported by artillery and protected by entrenchments and a low stone wall that ran along the high ground. The Union soldiers were obliged to advance from Fredericksburg across open ground, and the predictable result was a debacle for Burnside's forces. Union casualties at Fredericksburg totaled 1,284 dead and approximately 9,600 wounded, more than twice those of the Confederates. Burnside was subsequently relieved of army level command.

The WellHouse is a place extending God's grace to victims of human sex trafficking. We provide opportunities for restoration through several levels of our program. It begins with the initial call to our crisis line. After a rescue, we employ a multidisciplinary approach as we address all areas of need while also providing a Trauma Informed Care Approach to services. This begins with offering a safe environment where trust begins to grow.
REST was founded in November 2009 by a small team of women with experience dealing with troubled youth and sexual abuse issues, and other members of the team with backgrounds in wraparound services and case management to develop relationships with people being commercially sexually exploited (trafficked), or otherwise engaged in the sex trade or are at risk to enter. Our goal was to help them find a path to freedom.
Hope Against Trafficking is a Southeast Michigan-based campaign in support of Magdalene Detroit and is presented by Monarch Wings, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
Magdalene Detroit is our extended-term safe house program for women in Southeast Michigan who have been rescued from commercial sex or labor activity which has been induced through threat, force, or coercion.
We opened two Courage Worldwide Houses—Homes for minor girls rescued from sex trafficking—one in the United States and one in Africa. It is our intent to build a Courage House in every city around the world that needs one so rescued children will have a safe place to heal and call home. We are committed to not only rescuing child victims of sex trafficking, but also to restoring their lives... 0ne individual at a time.
Betty Be Good offers hand picked, boutique styles for the frugal fashionista. Everything in the curated collection is under $60 excluding outerwear, so we know you'll find a whole new wardrobe without breaking the bank!

Exact Flow Rates from Dupuit's Approximationby Bruce W. Hunt, (A.M.ASCE), Asst. Prof. of Civ. Engrg.; Univ. of Washington, Seattle, WA,
Serial Information: Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1970, Vol. 96, Issue 3, Pg. 633-642
Document Type: Journal Paper
Certain problems in three-dimensional, confined and unconfined, ground water seepage are reduced to two-dimensional boundary-value problems by integrating the exact equations of motion in the vertical direction. It is shown that the solution of these two-dimensional boundary-value problems gives exact flow rates, and that these flow rates are identical to those obtained from the classical Dupuit theory of ground water motion. It is also concluded that free surface coordinates and piezometric head distributions are not, in general, given exactly by the Dupuit formulation.

The journal has traditionally been seen to embody four functions:
Registration : establishing the author's precedence and ownership of an idea
Dissemination : communicating the findings to its intended audience
Certification : ensuring quality control through peer review and rewarding authors
Archival record : preserving a fixed version of the paper for future reference and citation.
It is also worth noting that these functions can be seen as much as services for authors as for readers. Indeed it has been suggested that when authors transfer rights in their articles to journal publishers for no fee, they are not "giving away" the rights but exchanging them for these services (and others, such as copyediting).Journal publishing cycle
The movement of information between the different participants in the journal publishing process is usually called "the publishing cycle" Here research information, created by an author from a particular research community, passes through the journal editorial office of the author's chosen journal to its journal publisher, subscribing institutional libraries - often via a subscription agent - before ending up back in the hands of the readers of that research community as a published paper in a journal. In the world of electronic publishing, of course, readers also obtain journal articles directly from the publisher in parallel to the library route.
Authors publish to disseminate their results but also to establish their own personal reputations and their priority and ownership of ideas. The third-party date-stamping mechanism of the journal registers their paper as being received and accepted at a certain date, while the reputation of the journal becomes associated with both the article and by extension the author.
The role of the publisher has often been confused with that of the printer or manufacturer, but it is much wider. Identifying new, niche markets for the launch of new journals, or the expansion (or closure) of existing journals is a key role for the journals publisher. This entrepreneurial aspect seeks both to meet a demand for new journals from within the academic community - and it is noteworthy that journal publishers have been instrumental in the birth of a number of disciplines through their early belief in them and support of new journals for them - but also to generate a satisfactory return on investment.
As well as being an entrepreneur, the journal publisher is also required to have the following capabilities:
Manufacturer/electronic service provider – copyediting, typesetting & tagging, and (for the time being) printing and binding the journals.
Distributor – publishers maintain a subscription fulfillment system which guarantees that goods are delivered on time, maintaining relationships with subscription agents, serials librarians and the academic community.
Electronic host – electronic journals require many additional skill sets more commonly encountered with database vendors, website developers and computer systems more generally.
Types of articles One potential issue with the widespread adoption of self-archiving is that multiple versions of articles will be available to readers (and others, such as repository managers). In order to help create a consistent nomenclature for journal articles at various stages of the publishing cycle, NISO (National Information Standards Organization) and ALPSP have collaborated on a recommended usage (NISO 2008).
The NISO recommended terms are
AO = Author's Original
SMUR = Submitted Manuscript Under Review
AM = Accepted Manuscript
P = Proof
VoR = Version of Record
CVoR = Corrected Version of Record
EVoR = Enhanced Version of Record
For many purposes (such as much of this report) this represents a finer-grained structure than is necessary for discussing journal publishing. stm in its discussions with the EU and others refers instead to
Stage 1 (the author's original manuscript)
Stage 2 (the accepted manuscript) and
Stage 3 (the final paper - any of the versions of record).

They're finished, and they're so comfortable I'm tempted to put them on and never take them off.
The instructions in "Love at First Stitch" were excellent, accompanied by lots of photos, and the mini tutorials (like how to zig zag finish a seam allowance) come at just the right point – no flicking back and forth in the book to learn how you're meant to do the next step.
The dots don't run straight down the legs because I didn't check how much fabric was needed before I set off to the market, bought slightly too little, and ended up needing to cut the pattern out on a bit of a slant.
That lesson that it really does help to read things carefully was reinforced as I sat on the kitchen floor, looking in disbelief at the cut-out pieces of fabric, where the front of each leg was a noticeably different width to the back. But I'd been so excited about getting started that I hadn't followed Tilly's advice to look at a pair of pyjama bottoms to see how they're made – and of course once you do, you see that the front and back aren't mirror images. Panic over.
Right, I think a cup of tea to celebrate!
